Maybe it's privilege of commanding tower, large display screen in the multimedia classroom has already displayed items.
First, Class B vs. Class C.
Seven projects are already displayed on the screen.

"....." Hachiman.
"• •" Sakayanagi blinked twice, then gently rubbed her eyes as if couldn't believe it, seemed to have thought of dreaming in bed even now.
Because she probably didn't expect that among 7 selected projects, 5 belonged to her class, or in other words... all of them were selected, "...Are you sure this computer is feeling okay? I am taking exam very seriously and don't want anyone to interfere."
"???"
"It's random. I input project into the computer and got selected...." In fact, he also found it incredible, because the random result from computer showed that 5 projects were from his class.
The five projects submitted by two classes are definitely beneficial to their own.
Sakayanagi's luck improved right from the start.
"I can ensure fairness of the project selection," Mashima who doesn't know a blasted stuff about computers being tampered with.
Sakayanagi nodded. Then she looked at Hachiman with some regret, "In official competitions, luck plays a big role....."
"I have no objection. Um, Is there another person who hasn't come yet?" Hachiman noticed Mashima-sensei looked at his watch a couple of times.
There were less than five minutes left until official exam at nine o'clock.
If the Commander gave up, then class would have to fight a desperate battle without orders.
It will become quite disadvantageous.

"....It's Ryuen-kun, right? I just know it, he has a Protection quota," Ichinose nodded to herself, as if she is having a period, and don't know what else to think over.
The commanders of four classes had met each other before.
Rules require that a command tower be appointed within a specified time, but there is no rule that cannot be replaced, and Ryuen took advantage of the loophole.
Ichinose realised it last night, so it can't be considered a surprise victory.
But it did make her lose sleep.
She was looking at match schedule between her Class A and Class D.
Seven events have been selected, including five sports events such as relay races and rope skipping competitions, plus two written test events.
Although Class A cannot use academic strength to crush the opponent, they are not afraid of having many sports events.
There are many people in Class A are good at both studying and athletics.
But they have been on guard against Ryuen, who should not be able to do anything small, and now, he hasn't come yet?
In such a fair match, Ichinose did not want to take advantage of the opponent.
"Yeah, wait a moment. I will go check with Mashima-kun---" So everyone had no choice but to wait.
The longer it took, worse the situation for Class D would seem to be.
Only, Sakagami seemed to want to smile, and grin creepily at Chie's stupid face.
Obviously, as a popular teacher in class, he already knew about Ryuen's plan. 'So now, I look at Ichinose with nothing but pity.....'
"Sorry, I'm late....."
Just like when Sakayanagi came in just now, a girl with skin so white that one would have the illusion of seeing a winter snow girl walked in.
However, when Sakagami, who had just been confident, saw her come in, he immediately became shocked.
Perhaps, he didn't know that Ryuen was not final command tower.
But others were shocked too.
For example, Ichinose is the one who cares most about this.
Her and Ryuen's class are rivals.
Yesterday, Ryuen also wanted to change the candidate for the command tower.
Previous arrangement of Kaneda-kun to come was just to shake her judgment..... Ichinose realised that.
But now, a new person has come.
'Did Ryuen-kun want to keep the reward from expulsion and then offer his classmates as sacrifices, or did he actually have a more sophisticated plan? This made me very uneasy....Especially, there is no way he would sacrifice Hiyori-san...'
"Since you're here, let's start the exam right away," However, there were also teachers who didn't understand romance. Mr. Mashima from Class B said expressionlessly.
It seemed as if he was not surprised at all why fair-skinned girl appeared here.
But not everyone can be like him.
"Why------" Ichinose showed a surprised expression, "Why is Hiyori-san here?"
Day and night.
Full name: Shiina Hiyori.
And fact that Ichinose could call her out as Hiyori-san shows they have a good relationship with each other.
Hikigaya-kun can testify to this.
Shiina also told Ichinose about the deal he had offered.
"Because, I'm your enemy." Hiyori said with a cute dimple, she was smiling too, and likes to participate in exams, "I am Commander of Class D."
"....Weren't you a neutral person?"
"I was before poverty. Ichinose-san, have you been shaken by just this change?" Hiyori looked at her with a strange expression, as if she is gazing down upon her.
"Ah--no---eto---I---No-"
"The procedure for changing the commander is reasonable," Mashima-sensei seemed to know what Ichinose wanted to confirm again, so he answered without wasting time.
At the same time, he immediately asked for exam to begin.
Perhaps, it is strange that Class D keeps changing Commander, but if they can't even deal with this situation properly, he will leave a bad review of Ichinose Honami when they graduate.
This kind of thing is not his responsibility.
"....Well, last special exam of First grade, Command Tower exam, officially begins!" Although Teacher Hoshinomiya felt that current situation was not good, seven exam items had already been selected.
Judging from test items, Ichinose and her friends still have the advantage.

There are four tables in multimedia classroom here, two by two.
Hachiman and Sakayanagi were standing side by side, and opposite them was a huge display screen that broadcast current status of the examination rooms for their seven exams in real time.
They sit in front of a table with a notebook on it.
There is a window on the notebook, and when they click on it, they see the scene on screen.
There are also headphones on table, so they can just put on and use computer to take exam.
The commander cannot use voice to interfere with exam directly, but can give prompts within the allowed time, but these prompts need to be typed and converted into machine voice, which is then passed on to partners in each project.
There is only one companion who receives prompt.
For Hachiman and Sakayanagi, the first event is 100 meters.
Neither command tower had any intention of issuing any orders.
After all, had no right to intervene in such matters.
So both Hachiman and Sakayanagi were slacking off.
"...It's a pity there is no one in my class who is good at these skills," Sakayanagi was very frank.
Class C sent out Sudo for 100-meter race, and this sports idiot had already shown up in festival.
Although Sudo was beaten badly by Ryuen at that time, no student would underestimate his physical fitness.
Class B was almost ready to give up the first round.
Things happened just as she said.
After the 100-meter sprint event started, Sudo's body flew out like the wind. It was over before it even began.
The school is very humane. According to the original rules, one event takes one hour.
However, if it ends early, you will not be forced to wait for one hour.
Instead, after making sure that both players are ready, the second game will start after a 10-minute break.
It is still a project of Hikigaya's class.
1000 meters.
The person who participated in this project was Koenji Rokusuke.
Although they knew he was a monster, Class B did not give up.
Instead, they chose boys who were better at sports.
"This is Kito-kun, a silent boxer from my class. From what I know, he competed for money in underground battles in his past. I found it amazing....."
Sakayanagi gave such a wild introduction, she was really in a good mood these days.
Because everyone knows round is probably going to be a giveaway.
Sakayanagi doesn't care about this kind of test whose result is already known to mankind.
Because she was command tower of the opposing class, she and Hachiman were only separated by a table.
In other words, distance is very close, so you can continue to have a little whisper.
"Now that you have arranged for Koenji-kun to take action, don't you think it's a pity for Hikigaya-kun? Because the next step is Mental Arithmetic, and there is no one in your class who is good at using brains....."
In Hachiman's class, there are really only two people who can do mental calculation, one is Matsushita and the other is Yukimura.
However, Yukimura's strength is only average.
It is said that he only knew the basics at beginning, and after three weeks of what he thought was special training, there was not much effect.
But Mental Arithmetic is a project for Sakayanagi's class, and their participation requirement is that each class must send 5 contestants.
So project is very disadvantageous for Class C, but if they can pull in a cheater, such as Koenji, can win this project.
As for the 1000-meter event that Koenji is currently participating in, Hachiman's class actually has backup candidates, such as Hirata.
'The students in Sakayanagi's class have very good hardware, but if Hirata plays in the individual 1000-meter event, he has a chance of winning. Then, also won in mental abacus because of Koenji's participation. So does Sakayanagi think I didn't give my all?'
"Koenji is an all-around good guy. Besides expensive, he's also very aloof....So it's not easy to get him to play to his strength. He will only play one match, so I decided to give him a quick win. Plus, his goal is to graduate with Class A. So there's no need to completely mess with you guys..."
'~fufu~ Does this mean Hikigaya-kun thinks my class will eventually graduate as A?'
Then she heard Hikigaya-kun continue.
"Don't worry, I will do my best in this exam..."
Go all out? So let her see your full effort. Very quickly.
The 1000m event was over and, unsurprisingly, Koenji won.
"Class C has won two games in a row. Now it's time for 10-minute break."
According to rules of the competition, Class C can take away 30X2 class evaluation points from Class B where Sakayanagi is.
But all the games haven't been finished yet, so there is no rush.
There were only seven games in total, but they lost first two at the beginning, and there was no panic on Sakayanagi's face.
She held the cane in one hand and seemed to be in a good mood.
This is what a Great General's demeanor looks like.
Of course, there was also reason that two games that had already ended were must-win events that Hachiman's class had prepared.
If you draw the other class's winning event, no matter how hard you try, your chances of winning are not high.

"The 3rd game - Mental Arithmetic," After a ten-minute break, voice of Mr. Mashima from Class B was announced.
Hearing this, Sakayanagi looked at the players entering competition venue.
Here in Class B are Katsuragi and four other students who are gifted in math.
Katsuragi's grades are not bad in the class, but he is not very suitable for projects like Mental arithmetic because he is steady and not particularly smart.
Therefore, choosing him to participate in competition is not the best choice.
However, reason for choosing him was probably to test his loyalty.
The fact that Katsuragi had private contact with a student in Class C named Yukimura Teruhiko has been reported.
Katsuragi must also know this.
Because of the last vote to drop out of school, Katsuragi must be resenting her in his heart.
He resented her for causing his follower Yahiko to drop out of school, and resented her for treating him like a monkey.
However, under such circumstances, Sakayanagi sent out Katsuragi.
If Katsuragi had rebellious intentions and wanted revenge, then he would definitely react.
In Sakayanagi's opinion, whether Katsuragi wanted revenge or not, he would definitely obey her orders seriously and would not let Class C win in the game.
The reason is very clear.
She believed that Katsuragi was not a person who would put his own interests first, so there was no need to worry that he would be shaken in such a big exam that affected class ranking.
"I just didn't expect you to like sending people to win over," Sakayanagi directly pointed out the contact between Yukimura and Katsuragi on Hachiman's side, "But unfortunately, even I trust his character."
Hachiman nodded gently, "So this game is a free point for you."
"Oh, you can speak too!" Sakayanagi was really shocked, that he can use his mouth to talk, her eyebrows raised as if she was not faking anything.
The strongest student in Hachiman's class is Koenji Rokusuke, who has already participated in a 1000-meter long-distance race and won.
Although according to exam rules, contestants have the opportunity to play again, but requires all students in a class to participate in project before the contestant can be reused.
In Hachiman's class, there were only a dozen students selected for the battle this time.
It's impossible to pass all the turns and then let Koenji play again.
So we can see that Koenji, who had just finished 1000-meter race, directly took the small mirror handed over by Hirata and began to concentrate on looking at his own beautiful face.
Isn't there a top student in Hachiman's class?
Some people are good at math.
But unfortunately, although Mental Arithmetic is a part of mathematics, it is not something that ordinary students can easily get into, so even if Horikita, a top student, comes on stage, it will be useless.
However, his dedicated backup friend Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is a full-time chess player and cannot participate.
Therefore, score calculated for this test is basically given away.
As the topic appeared, Hachiman chose an interesting person.
The screen displays a number every few seconds, and a calculation mode of adding up all the numbers or mixed addition and subtraction is displayed.
The number of participants is 5 people from each class.
About speed and correctness of the answer.
If the answer is correct, speed will be compared.
If answer is fast but wrong, no points will be awarded.
There are a total of ten questions, and class with most correct answers will win.
If both sides answer 5 questions correctly, then eleventh question will appear.
Commanders of both classes have one chance to change answer to any question.
Please look at students fighting on Hachiman's side.
4 girls and 1 boy.
Chiaki Matsushita, Teruhiko Yukimura, Passerby Girl B, Passerby Girl C, Passerby Girl D.
The person sent by Class C is Yukimura who can be called by name.
He is a top student after all, good at mental calculations.
Originally, he, as a top student, was to be used as a fighting force in the subsequent English or math tests for Class B together with Suzune, Hirata and others.
When Yukimura contacted Katsuragi, he got news that only people in Class B who knew mental were Katsuragi and a student named Sanada.
So even though it requires 5.
He knows mental arithmetic, although he is not very good at it, but Matsushita also knows it and seems to be able to do it, so Yukimura thinks this opportunity may be worth a try.
So, hope to take this exam.
Hachiman had no objection.
Yukimura-kun took the initiative to contact Katsuragi, so it would be best for him to take exam with him.
He is probably the only conscience in Class C right now. So, hope he can grow up a bit.
However, if simply look at the strength, possible that sides are evenly matched.
Hachiman remembered that after Class B announced 10 projects, Yukimura wanted to find someone who could do mental.
"Mental Arithmetic... I learned a little bit in elementary school....." This is what Chiaki Matsushita said.
In other words, Yukimura was recommended to participate in the project, she recommended herself, and Matsushita-san, Hachiman confirmed that other party had hidden strength.
'So it's hard to say how well she can perform. Maybe she can be on par with Katsuragi and the others.....'
As for other three random girls, it was those who spread rumors about Suzune.
Although Yamauchi rushed forward and acted as a troublemaker, there were also girls who didn't like Suzune.
So, just grabbed all of them directly.
In this round, Hachiman was going to give up anyway.
'Even if you are given a chance, if you are unable to answer a single question in examination room, under the camera, or are crushed by the other party, this feeling of discomfort will continue. And this is best punishment for those people who spread rumors and bad things about Horikita.....'
"Although it seems unnecessary, let's try hard for now," After estimating the strength of both sides, Sakayanagi said very softly.
